PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Joe "King" Oliver Like other early New Orleans cornetists, he played in a relatively four square rhythm and clipped melodic style (contrasting with the deliberate irregularity of the younger Armstrong and his imitators) and had a repertory of expressive deviations of rhythm and pitch, some verging on theatrical novelty effects and others derived from blues vocal style. Indeed, of the earlier New Orleans cornetists, only Oliver was extensively recorded in the 1920s with an outstanding ensemble, and the revival of New Orleans style, which began shortly after his death, owed much to the rediscovery of his early three dozen Creole Band recordings, which were internationally known by the 1940s. After 1924 the quality of his recordings declined, partly because of recurrent tooth and gum ailments and partly because his style was at odds with that of his younger sidemen; but with a good orchestra he was capable of coherent and energetic playing even as late as 1930. www.pbs.org /jazz/biography/artist_id_oliver_joe_king.htm   (780 words)

From the Life of a Good-for-Nothing 9 But the cornetist said, "I never could endure the fl slops," and, after handing me a huge slice of bread and butter, he brought out a bottle of wine, from which he offered me a draught. Then he rummaged in his wallet, and finally produced from among all sorts of rubbish an old, tattered map of the country, in the corner of which the emperor in his royal robes was still to be discerned, a sceptre in his right hand, the orb in his left. The cornetist nodded, upon which I embraced him so enthusiastically that his three-cornered hat fell off, and we all immediately determined to take the mail-boat on the Danube to the castle of the beautiful Countess. www.fln.vcu.edu /eichendorff/taugenichts9_e_pics.html   (2615 words)

Lesser-known Cornet Soloists Cornetists performed in bands in hospitals, prisons, sanitariums, homes for the disabled veterans, and were employed by individual businesses.

Bill Price has died Price, a cornetist and trumpeter with a national reputation, was a vice president of Data Card Corp. in the 1970s, when it was a leader in a new industry. According to Charlie DeVore, Minnesota cornetist and jazz historian, some of the musicians Price played with in those years included trombonists Georg Brunis and Miff Mole, as well as drummer Baby Dodds. “He was an extraordinary musician—a gifted cornetist and a gifted bandleader,” said William J. Schafer, a professor emeritus at Berea (Ky.) College and a regular contributor to the Mississippi Rag, an internationally circulated monthly on traditional jazz. www.docevans.com /BillPrice.htm   (572 words)

Austin Chronicle: Print an Article   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Legendary jazz cornetist Bix Beiderbecke was the model in literature and film for the "Young Man With a Horn"-type, a psychologically troubled, immensely talented musician who drank himself to death. Beiderbecke has been cited as the originator of cool jazz; his playing had plenty of warmth, actually, but he was a more introverted soloist than most jazz artists of the times. Yet what he offers about the cornetist is accurate, which is important as so few contemporary jazz fans know much about him. www.austinchronicle.com /gyrobase/Issue/print?oid=oid%3A296388   (260 words)

Herbert L. Clarke - Biographies - The Virtual Gramophone Herbert Lincoln Clarke, acknowledged to be the greatest cornetist of his time, was certainly the most celebrated. Since his father was the organist at the Jarvis St. Baptist Church and his three older brothers played with the Regimental Band of the Queen's Own Rifles, it was not surprising that the young Clarke showed an interest in music. He himself said in his autobiography, How I Became a Cornetist, that it was growing up "in a musical environment that played a large part in turning me to the musically artistic as a life profession". www.collectionscanada.ca /gramophone/m2-1006-e.html   (796 words)

Index2 On the off chance that the "Cradle of Love" cornetist might have been one of the regular players in the band, I closely checked several other Miller sides from this period, but there was no audible sign of him. Several of the cornetists succeeded in reproducing some of the more superficial aspects of what we think is Bix's cornet work, but not the essence. Posted on Feb 15 2000, 05:18 PM On 5/4/99 Frank Youngwerth raised the possibility that the mystery cornetist in "Cradle of Love" is the same musician as the one featured in Ray Miller's "Harlem Madness", recorded in December of 1929. members.fortunecity.com /ahaim   (9362 words)

Ruby Braff - Ruby Braff Remembers Louis Armstrong: Being With You | HTZ FM Although billed as a tribute to Louis Armstrong, this 1996 recording by the great cornetist Ruby Braff is not all it seems to be. The lineup of musicians is impressive: cornetist Jon-erik Kellso, Barrett, Scott Robinson on baritone and clarinet, veteran tenorman Jerry Jerome, guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, pianist Johnny Varro, bassist Bob Haggart and drummer Jim Gwin; the sidemen get almost as much solo space as the leader. Braff plays well, and the overall results are pleasing but not quite up to the level of the cornetist's more significant dates. www.htzfm.com /album/314550/review   (170 words)

King Oliver - Music Downloads - Online In 1923, he led one of the classic New Orleans jazz bands, the last significant group to emphasize collective improvisation over solos, but ironically his second cornetist (Louis Armstrong) would soon permanently change jazz. New recordings resulted (including "Snag It," which has a famous eight-bar passage by Oliver) but when the cornetist moved to New York in 1927, his music was behind the times and he made some bad business decisions (including turning down a chance to play regularly at the Cotton Club). Worse yet, his dental problems (caused partly by an early liking of sugar sandwiches) made playing cornet increasingly painful and, on many of his later recordings, Oliver is barely present (although he did a heroic job on 1929's "Too Late"). musicstore.connect.com /artist/460/King-Oliver/10943156.html   (470 words)

Muggsy Spanier | Biography | MTV Muggsy Spanier was a predictable but forceful cornetist who rarely strayed far from the melody. Perfectly at home in Dixieland ensembles, Spanier was also an emotional soloist (equally influenced by King Oliver and Louis Armstrong) who was an expert at using the plunger mute. After he recovered, the cornetist formed his famous eight-piece "Ragtime Band" and recorded 16 Dixieland performances for Bluebird (later dubbed The Great Sixteen) that virtually defined the music of the Dixieland revival movement. www.mtv.com /music/artist/spanier_muggsy/bio.jhtml   (252 words)

Jazz   (Site not responding. Last check: ) According to legend, the first improvising jazz musician was the cornetist Buddy Bolden, leader of a band in New Orleans. The first jazz bands were usually made up of one or two cornet players who played the principal melodies, a clarinetist and trombonist who improvised countermelodies, and a rhythm section (piano, banjo, string bass or tuba, and drums) to accompany the horns. White Chicago youths, such as tenor saxophonist Bud Freeman and clarinetist Benny Goodman, were excited by the New Orleans masters including the thrilling Louis Armstrong, who played in King Oliver's band and formed their own Dixieland jazz bands. members.tripod.com /~Sam_H/jazz2.html   (1120 words)

Armstrong was the top trumpeter of his time and set he standard for the new generation of trumpeters in the next decade. Maturing musically around the same time as African American jazz legends like Armstrong and clarinetists Sidney Bechet, Bix Beiderbecke was a trumpeter and a cornetist, and e was the first famous white jazz soloist and bandleader. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/jazz/71674   (447 words)

R&R - Ruby Braff - Music Reviews Included in the releases were a quartet set with cornetist Ruby Braff, bassist Jack Lesberg, and drummer Gus Johnson, and a duet project with Braff. All of the Sutton dates were elusive and out of print for years, until Chiaroscuro began reissuing some of these valuable sets. In fact, those who are familiar with the cornetist will have no trouble identifying him within a few notes. www.mp3.com /albums/560246/reviews.html   (361 words)

eventscelebrating In an audience of nearly 100 people, three did not think the cornetist was Bix (interestingly, the three were professional musicians), six could not make up their mind, and the remaining, including myself, believed that the mystery corrnetist is Bix. Bix Beiderbecke was a highly influential jazz cornetist who died in 1931 at the age of 28, leaving some highly lyrical, purely personal music and the reputation of being probably the first true jazz legend (his life was supposed to be the basis of the novel, "Young Man With a Horn"). The music was drawn from recordings made by the celebrated jazz cornetist with small groups throughout the nineteen-twenties and with Jean Goldkette's orchestra in 1927. ms.cc.sunysb.edu /~alhaim/eventscelebrating.htm   (12721 words)

How I became a cornetist That old saying regarding poets does not hold good with cornetists, for there is no such thing as a "born" cornet player, each is "made" by and for himself, and each must actually work. Many an aspiring young player is often told by his friends that he is a "born cornetist." This is a mistake, for after a while he really begins to believe it himself and stops his regular practice routine. The cornetist again arose, but this time stepped to the front of the platform, and to my wonderment played the entire solo through for the second time without seeming tired or making a slip. abel.hive.no /trumpet/clarke/bio/html_all   (19538 words)

Brass Band Reference - Arban The subject of this chapter had not the opportunity to play on one of these modern instruments; one wonders what he might have accomplished on an instrument with such possibilities. It was his ability alone that won this great distinction, not only understanding the theory of music, but having a natural talent to inculcate to his pupils the rudiments of a firm foundation which insures a proper knowledge of correct playing. It is actually a resume of the knowledge acquired by the author's long experience as a professor and executant, and also the exceptional results which have marked his career. www.harrogate.co.uk /harrogate-band/misc09.htm   (667 words)

Wild Bill Davison - Solo Flight | internet radio on icebergradio.com Although cornetist Wild Bill Davison sticks mostly to his typical repertoire during this spirited CD, the setting is a bit unusual. Davison is joined by both Denny Wright and Paul Sealey on guitars and bassist Harvey Weston, a similar instrumentation as Ruby Braff's popular group with George Barnes. Although the guitarists get their solos, it is the 75-year-old cornetist who is clearly the leader, showing that in 1981 he still had plenty of fire and emotion left. www.icebergradio.com /album/261252/review   (146 words)

John Hazel Soon a national music magazine of the time hailed him as "one of the greatest cornetists the world has produced." From 1903 to 1907, Hazel was invited to record several solos and duets for the Edison Phonographic Studios. In 1903 Hazel was hired as staff cornetist for the Edison Phonographic Studios in East Orange, New Jersey. Not only is he a cornetist of national repute, but he also stands preeminent as an orchestra leader and a composer and arranger of music for single instruments, orchestras, and large bands. www.lycoming.org /repaszband/john_hazel.htm   (5972 words)

The cornetist, who has been hobbled by respiratory ailments, was in New York last week, recording what he himself admitted might well be his last sessions. They are lyrical improvisations of the highest level, as on his interpretations of "Thou Swell" and "Yesterdays," the latter highlighted by a conversational duet between cornet and guitar and a delicate, bowed bass solo. www.shanghaijazz.com /images/newspages/braff.htm   (564 words)

Born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1899, he got into "hot music" through the great cornetist, Bix Biederbecke. Hoagy went to Indiana University and in those early years he arranged some music for the Wolverines, a famous band of the time that featured Biederbecke. www.indiana.edu /~wfiu/mcpartland_hoagy.htm   (393 words)
